 News and Upcoming Events

Special Edition: February 2016 
Introducing Karen Lee Hizola
Philippines Program Manager
 
We are very exci ted to welcome Karen Lee Hizola to the  Friends of ENCA (FoE) team as our Philippines Program Manager.
Karen is an Electronic s Engineer by profession but an artist and environmentalist by passion. In 2012, she was introduced to Permaculture and the following year pursued a more in depth Permaculture Design Course in Cebu, Philippines. This became her first experience in working with local organic farmers.  Because of this, she has been looking for an opportunity to learn and, in turn, to teach people this paradigm shift and Friends of ENCA Farm is a perfect fit. 
 
In this new role Karen will be managing infrastructure projects at ENCA Farm and coordinating all meetings and continued educational programs with organic farmers throughout the region. 

We are very excited to have you on the team Karen!
